The GOST hash function, defined in the standards GOST R 34.11-94 and GOST 34.311-95, is a 256-bit cryptographic hash function. It was initially defined in the Russian national standard GOST R 34.11-94 Information Technology - Cryptographic Information Security - Hash Function. The equivalent standard used by other member-states of the CIS is GOST 34.311-95.
The hash function is based on the GOST block cipher.
Algorithm
GOST processes a variable-length message into a fixed-length output of 256 bits. The input message is broken up into chunks of 256-bit blocks (eight 32-bit little endian integers); the message is padded by appending as many zeros to it as are required to bring the length of the message up to 256 bits. The remaining bits are filled up with a 256-bit integer arithmetic sum of all previously hashed blocks and then a 256-bit integer representing the length of the original message, in bits.
Basic notation
The algorithm descriptions uses the following notations:
- — j-bit block filled with zeroes.
- — length of the M block in bits modulo 2256.
- — concatenation of two blocks.
- — arithmetic sum of two blocks modulo 2256
- — logical xor of two blocks
Further we consider that the little-order bit is located at the left of a block, and the high-order bit at the right.
Description
The input message is split into 256-bit blocks . In the case the last block contains less than 256 bits, it is prepended left by zero bits to achieve the desired length.
Each block is processed by the step hash function , where , , are a 256-bit blocks.
Each message block, starting the first one, is processed by the step hash function , to calculate intermediate hash value
The value can be arbitrary chosen, and usually is .
After is calculated, the final hash value is obtained in the following way
- , where L — is the length of the message M in bits modulo
- , where K — is 256-bit control sum of M:
The is the desired value of the hash function of the message M.
So, the algorithm works as follows.
- Initialization:
- — Initial 256-bit value of the hash function, determined by user.
- — Control sum
- — Message length
- Compression function of internal iterarions: for i = 1 … n — 1 do the following (while ):
- - apply step hash function
- - recalculate message length
- - calculate control sum
- Compression function of final iteration:
- - calculate the full message length in bits
- - pad the last message with zeroes
- - update control sum
- - process the last message block
- - MD - strengthen up by hashing message length
- - hash control sum
- The output value is .
Step hash function
The step hash function maps two 256-bit blocks into one: . It consist of three parts:
- Generating of keys
- Enciphering transformation using keys
- Shuffle transformation
Key generation
The keys generating algorithm uses:
- Two transformations of 256-bit blocks:
- Transformation , where are 64-bit sub-blocks of Y.
- Transformation , where , and are 8-bit sub-blocks of Y.
- Three constants:
- C2 = 0
- C3 = 0xff00ffff000000ffff0000ff00ffff0000ff00ff00ff00ffff00ff00ff00ff00
- C4 = 0
The algorithm:
- For j = 2,3,4 do the following:
Enciphering transformation
After the keys generation, the enciphering of is done using GOST 28147-89 in the mode of simple substitution on keys . Let's denote the enciphering transformation as E (Note: the E transformation enciphers 64-bit data using 256-bit key). For enciphering, the is split into four 64-bit blocks: , and each of these blocks is enciphered as:
After this, the result blocks are concatenated into one 256-bit block: .
Shuffle transformation
On the last step, the shuffle transformation is applied to , S and m using a Linear feedback shift register. In the result, the intermediate hash value is obtained.
First we define the ψ function, doing LFSR on a 256-bit block: , where are 16-bit sub-blocks of the Y.
The shuffle transformation is , where denotes an i-th power of the function.
Initial values
There are two commonly used sets of initial parameters. The starting vector for the both sets is
=0x00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000.
Although the GOST R 34.11 94 standard itself doesn't specify the algorithm initial value and S-Box of the enciphering transformation , but uses the following “test parameters” in the samples sections.[2]
"Test parameters" S-box
RFC 5831 specifies only these parameters, but RFC 4357 names them as "test parameters" and does not recommend them for use in production applications.

Cryptanalysis
In 2008, an attack was published that breaks the full-round GOST hash function. The paper presents a collision attack in 2105 time, and first and second preimage attacks in 2192 time (2n time refers to the approximate number of times the algorithm was calculated in the attack).[1]
GOST hash test vectors
Hashes for "test parameters"
The 256-bit (32-byte) GOST hashes are typically represented as 64-digit hexadecimal numbers. Here are test vectors for the GOST hash with "test parameters"
GOST("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") = 77b7fa410c9ac58a25f49bca7d0468c9296529315eaca76bd1a10f376d1f4294
Even a small change in the message will, with overwhelming probability, result in a completely different hash due to the avalanche effect. For example, changing d to c:
GOST("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cog") = a3ebc4daaab78b0be131dab5737a7f67e602670d543521319150d2e14eeec445
Two samples coming from the GOST R 34.11-94 standard:[2]
GOST("This is message, length=32 bytes") = b1c466d37519b82e8319819ff32595e047a28cb6f83eff1c6916a815a637fffa GOST("Suppose the original message has length = 50 bytes") = 471aba57a60a770d3a76130635c1fbea4ef14de51f78b4ae57dd893b62f55208
